A case of biopsy-proven eosinophilic myocarditis related to tetanus toxoid immunization

We report the first case of biopsy-proven eosinophilic myocarditis related to tetanus toxoid immunization, with unique histopathologic findings, characterized by perivascular eosinophilic infiltrates with myocyte necrosis and abundant interstitial lymphocytic infiltrates with myocyte necrosis, separately. A systemic high-dose corticosteroid treatment had a dramatic beneficial effect on hemodynamic instability, resulted in complete recovery.
